Idea is to get any amount of poison on the enemy and follow it up with multiple proliferation effects. I stacked multiple cards that are affected by proliferation as well, and mostly it was a "Here's what I've got at hand." kind of deck. While the win condition is infect, getting anything onto the field I can proliferate tends to work out pretty well in the long run if I can hold back my opponent until I find my infect cards.

Works pretty well at my local Friday Night Magic. Biggest struggle are quick-paced decks. I've been considering a Pyroclasm to eat a field of low defense cards to help myself maintain some early field control. I've also been considering getting another Ral'Zarek into this deck (because I almost always win if I proliferate out an ultimate from him).

Izzet Guildgate (and probably some Izzet Boilerworks) will be replaced with Temple of Epiphany when Journey to Nyx comes out. Other than that, totally open to input and ideas.
